Sometimes the pain of rejection
Is too hard for us to bear
We take the blame and pour over our words
Looking for clues that might not be there
We cannot control what others feel
We cannot dictate the actions they take
We can learn and grow from the pain of rejection
Or drown in self-loathing and unending heartache
Rejection is a ferocious beast
It takes no prisoners and ravages the heart
But we can be stronger for having felt its wrath
We can find the strength to welcome a new start
You cannot let rejection take over your life
The fear it brings, you have the power to erase
You will find the courage to open your heart again
And the journey to a new life, you will embrace
